Grilled Vegetables With Herb Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Drizzle the carrots on a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with salt and use a small strainer to sprinkle evenly with the cumin. Arrange the bell pepper halves cut-side up next to the carrots, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with salt and sift with paprika.
• Cut the outer layer off the leeks and trim and discard 2 inches off the top. Split the leeks lengthwise and rinse the dirt out from the inside layers. Wipe dry and keep them in intact halves. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
• Grill the vegetables (leeks and peppers cut-side down) in a single layer in a medium-hot area of the grill. Close the lid and cook until you see liquid emerge, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn everything on its second side, then close the lid and cook until the peppers are tender but still hold their shape, 5 to 8 more minutes.
• Move the peppers to a cooler or foiled area of the grill, then close the lid and let the carrots and leeks continue to cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, an additional 5 to 8 minutes.
• Season the parsley in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place the parsley on a medium-hot part of the grill and cook until fairly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. Chop the parsley finely. Drizzle the jalapeno with 1 tablespoon olive oil and grill until charred, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the jalapeno from the grill and coarsely chop.
• Combine the red wine vinegar, brown sugar and orange juice in a medium bowl until the sugar dissolves. Whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, the mustard, parsley and jalapeno. Taste for seasoning.
• Place the leeks on a flat surface and cut each half into 3 even pieces. Cut the peppers in half again. Arrange the carrots, peppers and leeks on a serving platter and top with the dressing.

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan until medium-hot. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add beets; boil until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain; pat dry with paper towels.
• Toss beets with 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl; season with salt, and set aside. Toss eggplants, zucchini, summer squash, bell peppers, and radicchio with remaining 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon oil in a large bowl; season with salt.
• Grill all vegetables, turning once, until tender and golden brown, 4 to 8 minutes (cooking time will vary among vegetables). Arrange vegetables on a large platter. Serve warm or at room temperature; just before serving, spoon vinaigrette on top, and gently toss.

Steps:

• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush the vegetables with 1/4 cup of the oil to coat lightly. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper. Working in batches, grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred all over, about 8 to 10 minutes for the bell peppers; 7 minutes for the yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms; 4 minutes for the asparagus and green onions. Arrange the vegetables on a platter. The key to getting those great grill marks is to not shift the vegetables too frequently once they've been placed on the hot grill.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, parsley, basil, and rosemary in a small bowl to blend. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the herb mixture over the vegetables. Serve the vegetables, warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Blend vinegar, mustard and lemon juice, plus salt and pepper to taste, in a blender until combined. With blender running, pour in remaining 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons oil in a slow, steady stream; blend until emulsified. Just before serving, stir vinaigrette into shallot mixture.

Steps:

• Whisk together all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Arrange the vegetables in a shallow dish or plastic container, pour the marinade over them, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Prepare a grill. Grill the vegetables 6 inches from the heat source until they are tender, brushing them with the leftover marinade as they cook. Cooking times will vary according to the vegetable.

Steps:

• Stir the broth, thyme and black pepper in a small bowl. Brush the vegetables with the broth mixture.
• Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium. Grill the vegetables for 10 minutes or until they're tender-crisp, turning over once during cooking and brushing often with the broth mixture.
